For network security enhance, the PLANET WGS3-2840 provides 512 IEEE 

802.1Q VLAN groups to segment the port-based networks and the static 

MAC address / MAC address filtering function and comprehensive Access 

Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge as well. For network 

Ethernet traffic analysis, the PLANET WGS3-2840 provides port mirroring 

function to monitor the traffic on its Ethernet ports, and it also equips with 

QoS features to enhance services offered by telecoms. This function provides 

priority queues per port for different types of traffics, allowing 

administrators to set policies for classified filtering and rule-based rate 

limitation.

Designed to offer the guaranteed IP Layer 3 routing with RIP, OSPF and 

DHCP relay function support, the WGS3-2840 empowers the performance 

of pure IP-based network easier than ever.  The IGMP snooping function 

helps to build a multimedia networks like video-conference and etc.

With its built-in Web-based management, the PLANET WGS3-2840 offers 

an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration 

facility. The PLANET WGS3-2840 supports standard Simple Network 

Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based 

management software. For text-based management, the WGS3-2840 can 

also be accessed via telnet method and the console port.

For easier to configure multiple WGS3-2840 with the same setting in a short 

time, the PLANET WGS3-2840 provide current configuration backup / 

restore function. It also provides new firmware upgrade through the Web 

interface for enhancing the performance of the WGS3-2840.

o fill the  demand of Layer 2 (Data Link) and Layer 3 (Network) multi-layer 

applications from enterprises and campuses, PLANET releases the new 

generation Layer 3 24-Port 10/100Mbps plus 4G TP/SFP Combo Layer 3 

Managed Ethernet Switch, WGS3-2840.

The PLANET WGS3-2840 equips with 24-Port 10/100Mbps with 4 Gigabit 

TP/SFP Combo interfaces plus the powerful Layer 2 management functions / 

Layer 3 routing feature. Its 24 10/100Mbps and 4 Gigabit TP ports support  

Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 5/5e 

or 6 cables. All the ports support Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can automatically 

detect the types of connection to any Ethernet devices without requiring 

special straight or crossover cables. The 4 SFP interfaces together with 4 

Gigabit TP ports by default, shared with port 25 to port 28. With the 

PLANET mini-GBIC fiber-optic module installed, it offers incredible 

extensibility, flexibility and connectivity to the other core switches or servers.

For universal demand and application of Layer 2, the PLANET WGS3-2840 

provides high effective management functions, such as per port disable / 

enable, speed duplex, flow control settings, bandwidth control and per port 

Ethernet traffic statistics for counter.  To improve the performance of entire 

network environment, the PLANET WGS3-2840 provides IEEE 802.1d 

Spanning Tree and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree function.  For optimal 

LAN connection and diagnose between two node switch devices, the link 

aggregation is the ideal solution and it supports up to 12 link aggregation 

groups.
